This patchset has been introduced for the removal of mlocks
from the ade7758 file and replace it with the already established
buf_lock.
Patch *[1/2] removes the unnecessary mlocks i.e. which are
taken around the read cases.
Patch *[2/2] replaces other mlocks with buf_locks and introduces
unlocked forms of read and write registers so as to avoid nested 
locks. Also some additional cleanups like moving the locks to where
they are required to protect, are made to improve the code clarity.

This patchset has been introduced after the revisions done on the
patch *[2/2] and also there was the need of patch *[1/2].
